A Soldier I walk in silence, alone
today,
My rifle dragging in the sand.
I walk in silence, head
bowed low,
Through this
savage land.
I walk a path many have
walked
Many as sad as
I
I walk, and I think, and ask as they,
I ask the question, “Why?”
I think of old friends in a far off land
My friends of another
time.
I see them laughing and I think of today,
It almost seems
a crime.
Yes, I can see them laughing,
I know that life’s
that way.
But, I cannot join their laughter,
My buddy died today.
